Abstract
An aneurysm of the abdominal aorta is defined as any dilatation greater than 1–1/2 times the normal diameter of the native vessel,1 while dilatations of lesser dimensions are termed ectasia.1,2 They usually represent the degenerative result of aging of the aorta. Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) occur in about 5% of the population over the age of 60 years in the United States.
